Chicken Chopped Salad (Recipe)


Ingredients

Salad

  • 1/2 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (Use Kasandrinos *FREE Bottle**)
  • 1.25 lbs thin sliced chicken breast or chicken tenders trimmed
  • 16 oz mini cucumbers chopped
  • 5 Roma tomatoes chopped
  • 2 avocados chopped
  • 1/4 cup chopped red or yellow bell pepper, cut into pieces 1/2 inch square
  • 1/2 medium red or yellow onion chopped
  • 2 green onions chopped


marinade/dressing

  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 small limes juice of
  • 2 tsp oregano
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • 1.  Combine all marinade ingredients.
  • 2. Trim the chicken and place it in a dish. Pour half of the marinade over the chicken, putting the rest aside to use as dressing for the salad. Toss the chicken gently to coat.
  • 3. Heat 1/2 Tbsp olive oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat for one minute. Cook the marinated chicken over medium-high heat for about three minutes a side, or until nicely browned and cooked through. Remove from the pan and let cool slightly.
  • 4. While the chicken is cooking and cooling, chop the cucumbers, peppers, tomatoes, avocados, green onions, and onion. Then, chop the cooked chicken.
  • 5. Add the chopped chicken and veggies to a large bowl, drizzle everything with the reserved dressing, and toss to blend.
  • 6. Serve immediately, or, for an even tastier salad, chill in the refrigerator for an hour before serving to allow the flavors to blend.

Enjoy!!!
